Ecuador: Nugent and Team Enjoy Rest Day at Chilcabamba

Hi all… Just checking in on a rest day here at Chilcabamba. Been enjoying the views and the rustic setup of this farmhouse turned lodge and lazing about like monarchs. The famous dogs of Chilcabamba, Pacha and Toa are still around and friendly as ever (anyone who’s been here knows what I’m talking about). These guys might be easier to adopt than the aforementioned monkey but I’m pretty sure the folks here won’t give them up so easily. Not much else to report besides views, wood burning stoves, hundreds of hummingbirds, and ponchos! Enjoying our rest and letting our brains as bodies recoup after yesterday’s challenge, getting ready for the next…
